Police recover two AK-47 rifles, ammunition in Kaduna
The police command in Kaduna says it has recovered two AK-47 rifles with 60 rounds of live ammunition.
In a statement on Thursday, the command spokesman, DSP Muhammad Jalige, said operatives on routine patrol along Hukunyi-Danja road sighted two persons riding a motorcycle very suspiciously on Tuesday.
He said the situation prompted the patrol team to pursue the riders who ran into the nearby forest, and their luggage fell off the bike.
“The luggage was searched, and two AK-47 riffles loaded with 30 rounds of live ammunition each were recovered.
“The patrol team combed the entire area throughout the night in order to guarantee the safety of the road users and the adjoining communities,” he said.
The statement quoted the Commissioner of Police, Musa Garba, as commending the personnel for their dedication to duty.
He charged them to continue ensuring that exclusive policing strategy successfully fosters a new security dawn in the state.
While reiterating the command’s readiness to respond to distress, the CP ordered a vigorous manhunt of the hoodlums to bring them to book.
